Životná spokojnosť a vybrané osobnostné premenné učiteľov

The report deals with the construct of life satisfaction in connection with personality factors in a group of Slovak teachers. The aim is to analyze the life satisfaction of teachers and its correlation with selected personality features. The research sample consisted of 197 teachers. To acquire data we used the life satisfaction questionnaire, the NEO-FFI (five-factor personality inventory), and the RSES (Rosenberger scale of self-esteem). The research revealed a significant correlation between life satisfaction and NEO-FFI personality variables with the exception of openness to experience. It was shown that important predictors of life satisfaction are neuroticism, extraversion and self-esteem.
